The Grant County post offices will hold their annual county-wide food drive for Helping Hands on Saturday, May 14.

Helping Hands is a nonprofit organization that helps those who need assistance with food, clothing and miscellaneous household items.

Anyone within the Grant County postal area can place a non-perishable food item in their mailbox. The local carrier will pick up the items and deliver them to Helping Hands. Items can also be left at any Grant County post office.

Grant County voters can head to the polls May 17, but County Clerk Leatha Conrad is not expecting a big turnout.
“I think it’s going to be pretty light,” Conrad said about the primary election. “I haven’t heard many people talk about it. We have not had many people request absentee ballots or come vote on the absentee machines.”
Since the election is a primary and does not involve any local races, voters may decide to skip filling out the ballots.
Polls will be open at 23 precincts in Grant County from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
